The mechanic is easy to understand and the gameplay \/ movement is really fluid! I ended up figuring out a mostly dominant strategy which is to find planets that have all the turrets on one side and then land on the opposite side so that the missiles don't hit me. I was able to get up to 11 planets killed as a result. The orbiting satellites increased the difficulty slightly but not by too much.\r\rSuggestion: Maybe have more types of planets? One thing that might be cool would be to have something like binary stars where two planets orbit each other and so turrets would shoot at you from the other planet you're not sucking energy from.\r\rAnyways, amazing entry!"},{"author_name":"crare","author_uid":"55121","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:28am","epoch":1440393780,"text":"Nice game, good control.

It doesn't allow the precision that is needed for a shmup.\rDifficulty: I think the game is way too easy right now. The difficulty curve should be a lot more drastic, as now after you get accustomed to the game's control, there is at least a minute of boredom, as nothing threatens you, and there is not much else for you to learn.
